question about clk notifier in common clock tree

Hi Mike,

Now in our platform, we are using clk notifer to adjust voltage before
clock rate change or after rate change.

But for some clock modules, it even have to adjust voltage when clock
enable and disable.
For example, when it is working(clock enabled), it requires voltage
1.2V. When it finished its work, it could release it's voltage
requirement.
Do you think if it is ok we also send out notifier in __clk_prepare
and __clk_unprepare as below?

Thanks.
